Abstract
Replication techniques in storage environments are disclosed. For example, a method includes provisioning, via a replication controller in a storage environment, one or more volumes that are synchronously replicated across at least two storage arrays. The provisioning is configured to maintain access to the one or more volumes by an application program executing on a host device in response to one of the at least two storage arrays failing, and the failure of the storage array being transparent to the application program executing on the host device while access to the one or more volumes is maintained.
